It was Mother's Day, but the young mother was a little unhappy, because she was 800 miles away from her parents. In the morning she phoned her mother to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother told her about the beautiful lilacs（丁香）in the garden.
Later that day, when she told her husband about the lilacs, he said, "I know where we can find all that you want. Get the children and come on. "So they went, driving down the country roads.
There on a small hill, they saw a lot of beautiful purple lilacs. The young woman ran quickly to enjoy the flowers. Carefully, she picked a few here and a few there. On their way home there was a smile on her face.
When they were passing a nursing home（养老院）, the young woman saw an old granny sitting in a chair. She had no children with her. They stopped the car and the young woman walked to the old woman, put the flowers in her hands, and smiled at her. The old granny thanked her again and again. She smiled happily, too.
When the young mother came back to her car, her children asked her, "Who is that old granny？Why did you give our flowers to her？"
"I don't know her," their mother said. "But it's Mother's Day, and she has no children. I have all of you, and I still have my mother. Just think how much those flowers meant to her."

One day when I was six, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans for us to enjoy.
Pecan picking was really tiring work and my little basket was only half full. When I was in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, something attracted me. A large brown squirrel a few feet away picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later he crawled out of his hiding place and climbed down to the ground. Once again, he took another pecan back to his home.
No more a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Handful by handful, I scooped all those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. "Well, well, how did you find so many?" He asked. I told him what I did.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. He handed the basket back to me, "That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter food," he said {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, do you think the little squirrel will survive the cold winter? A good person should {#blank#}5{#/blank#} take advantage of someone else's hard work."
I felt so guilty that I hurried back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had the satisfaction of knowing I had done just the right thing.
